Pune, India – September 5, 2025 – AutoDukan, a leading AI-driven platform transforming India’s automobile aftermarket, has raised $1 million in its Pre-Series A funding round. The investment, led by Choice Group alongside select high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), with continued support from MetroMax Group’s Indian arm and angel investor Ankit Sajnani, will fuel the company’s mission to scale its technology and redefine spare part procurement, insurance claim workflows, and multi-brand workshop enablement across India.
The funding follows a successful seed round backed by Rohit Goyal, Windrose Capital, and NRI investor Raghu Venkatraman, which supported the launch of AutoDukan’s core platform. An subsequent angel round, supported by MetroMax Group (USA) and Ankit Sajnani, enabled expansion into key automotive hubs. The latest capital infusion will drive operational scaling in major automotive regions, enhance AI-driven capabilities in demand prediction, automated procurement, and claims processing, and strengthen partnerships with insurers, fleet operators, and OEM suppliers.
“This investment validates our AI-first approach to addressing inefficiencies in a fragmented market,” said Gunjan Ruparelia, Co-Founder and CEO of AutoDukan. “We’re building an intelligent backbone for the automotive repair and insurance ecosystem, delivering speed, transparency, and trust at scale.”
Sumit Desai, Co-Founder and CTO, emphasized the platform’s technological edge: “Our AI anticipates demand and matches parts instantly, and this funding will bring that efficiency to India’s largest automotive regions.”
Pranay Tagare, Co-Founder and COO, added: “AutoDukan’s platform introduces data-driven precision to a traditionally manual industry, redefining how repairs and claims are managed.”
Choice Group, the lead investor, expressed confidence in AutoDukan’s vision. “The company’s AI-driven approach tackles real challenges in India’s automobile aftermarket. We believe AutoDukan will transform spare part procurement and insurance claim workflows nationwide,” a spokesperson stated.
